Irish Cattle Prices Still Adrift

This still leaves cattle values in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) ‘notably behind’ prices across the UK.

“While prices in NI and GB have firmed prices in ROI have declined. In the week ending the 13 July 2014 the R3 heifer price in NI was the equivalent of 22.4c/kg above the EU average while the R3 heifer price in ROI was 18c/kg below the EU average,” said LMC analysts.
